A banana is pretty high in potassium...but potatoes are actually higher, especially if they are cooked in a healthy manner (for example, NOT fried) AND you eat some of the skin.
Potassium is actually a very easy mineral to get. It is in a lot of foods so even if you don't try to get it you most likely will never be too low.
BUT, bananas also have other good vitamins and minerals, and if it keeps you from eating cholesterol and fat happy foods, such as eggs or any meat for breakfast, as an example, eat seven a week! :)

the only bad thing about me and potatoes is I never tend to eat them healthy... although every now and again I will have some plains ones roasted in olive oil, or mix some in soups.. but sadly I usually eat them fried or baked and drenched in fake butter... thanks for the info though... I thought they were high in potassium as well but could not remember .... thansk again for the info

You're welcome! That's the only problem with potatoes...people usually think, "french fries!" It doesn't work as much. :)
Potatoes in olive oil with parsley are delicious. But if you think you will have to fry the potatoes, stick with the bananas! :)

I try to eat between 4 and 5 a week. I like them alot especially with my cereal. I will also have banana splits during the summer and eat them more during the summer months. They are also very good for you.

I don't know how many exactly, but I eat one banana a day. I prefer to have after my lunch or dinner. It's good for digestion and too much banana is not good for health. As banana has high in potassium!
